The Saugus Pop Warner E and D teams had their home openers at Stackpole against Wilmington last Sunday, Sept. 30. The program’s fans came out to witness the grit of these athletes to win a game.

Fronduto leads the way

Michael Fronduto was the touchdown leader for the E-team, and was assisted by the hard tackling of linemen Tyler Schaefer, Tucker Landry and Nolan Luongo.

Leading at halftime, coach Nah Nguyen was able to guide his defensive players throughout the second half to secure a very satisfying 31-7 win over Wilmington.

D-team still perfect

The D-squad is the one team to beat in the league. But no one has done it as of yet. Captain Logan Bohetlo was able to lead his teammates to last Sunday’s 20-6 win over the Junior Wildcats.

Daniel Shea, just one of 31 players on the roster, scored all the touchdowns, but was ably assisted by the likes of Jacob Boyce, Davian Sullivan, J.J. Zirpolo and Ryan Young, who did their part to maintain the lead.

Heartbreaking finish

The B-squad took on host Lawrence last Sunday in what was a fight down to the last second of the game.

Both squads went back and forth on the scoreboard in this one. Kameron Young flew the offense downfield to account for touchdowns that were made by Tommy Desimone and Cameron Bullens. Kameron also flew to the one-yard line late in the game, coming up just inches short of scoring the game-winning touchdown as the clock ran out.

All Saugus Pop Warner football teams will be back home playing in the friendly confines of Stackpole Field this Sunday, Oct. 7, starting at 8 a.m. Come on by the league’s shed where all profits are donated back to these athletes, and also wear your Red, Black and Pink as the league shows off its annual support for Breast Cancer Awareness.
